Understanding Zoology

Beschreibung

Zoology is the biological branch concerned with studying the evolutionary, structural, and behavioral characteristics of animals. The primary focus of the subject lies upon the habits, distribution, and classification of both living and extinct animals, as well as their interactions with their ecosystems. Behavioral ecology, invertebrate zoology, zoography, ethology, animal physiology, soil zoology, vertebrate zoology, and comparative anatomy are the major sub-disciplines under zoology. Zoography is an applied science focused on the study of animals and their habitats, while comparative anatomy examines the structure of animals. Behavioral ecology explores the evolutionary basis for animal behavior influenced by ecological pressures. Zoology extends into numerous taxonomically oriented disciplines such as ornithology, biological anthropology, entomology, mammalogy, and herpetology. This book provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of zoology and related fields. It unfolds the innovative aspects of this area which will be crucial for the holistic understanding of the subject matter. This textbook, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to students involved in this area at various levels.
